💥 You heard it here FIRST: The title of Josh Malerman's nonfiction book! In his words: "Wrapped the nonfiction book. My first. (He talks about) the infinite differences between this experience and all others I’ve known. The book details one profound night shortly after getting a book deal for BIRD BOX, in which all major life backdrops were present, an unplanned council of huge thoughts/feelings. Woke up the next day and told Allison I could fill a whole book with what we’d experienced the night before, and now ten years later... I have."

😄 "I am deeply, deeply grateful for this group and the guests you have. When I listen/watch, I feel like after a lifetime of being a square peg in a round world, I've finally found my peer group. Thank you, thank you, thank you." -- Sandy Hale

😄 "I’ve had a pretty bad bout of depression this week and took half the week off of work and listening to some episodes of you all is helping a lot to occupy the mind. Too much information obviously, I know, but I appreciate all you do!!" - Jason

😄 "This podcast helped get me through lockdown. Love it!" - Jennifer Carstens

😄 "I usually try to catch your show Sunday afternoons on YouTube. I've come to look at you, Rick, Pete, Matt and others as buddies." - Ed Kinter
